11. North American Union - The North American Union (Nau) is a theoretical regional union of Canada, Mexico and the United States similar in structure to the European Union, sometimes including a common currency called the Amero. Theorists who believe that the three countries are planning for this believe that it is part of a global conspiracy to set up something called the New World Order (NWO). Officials from all three nations have repeatedly denied that there are plans to create a Nau although the idea has been proposed in academic circles, either as a union or as a North American community as proposed by the Independent Task Force on North America. The Amero received support in 1999 from Canadian economist Herbert Grubel, a senior fellow of the Fraser Institute think-tank, in a book entitled The Case for the Amero. Robert Pastor, vice-chairman of the Independent Task Force on North America, supported Grubel's conclusions in his 2001 book Toward a North American Community, stating that: "In the long term, the Amero is in the best interests of all three countries.

One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.”

12. Shakespeare was somebody else - who really was the English language's greatest writer? Among the numerous alternative candidates have been proposed that Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley (6th Earl of Derby) and Edward De Vere (17th Earl of Oxford), are the most popular. Theorists believe there is a lack of evidence proving that the actor and businessman sometimes known as Shaksper of Stratford was responsible for the body of works that bear his name. Biographical Very little information exists about Shakespeare.

13. The disappearance of Shergar - On February 8, 1983, a group of men wearing balaclavas and armed with guns turned up at the Ballymany Stud Farm in Co Kildare, Ireland and took a hostage - Jim Fitzgerald, the stud's head groom. "We've come for Shergar," they said. "We want £ 2m for him." Shergar was arguably the greatest race horse ever to have lived. But 25 years after he was kidnapped from Ballymany the mystery of exactly what happened to him after he was snatched that night still linger. The theories are numerous with the IRA, Colonel Gadaffi and the Mafia featuring among the most lurid. One story suggests that the IRA kidnapped the horse for Gadaffi in return for weapons. Another suggests that the New Orleans mafia took him.

4. Paul is dead - "Paul is dead" is an urban legend that was all Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike. "Evidence" for McCartney's death consists of "clues" found among the Beatles' many recordings. Hundreds have been cited at various times by various people. They include statements allegedly heard when a song is played backwards, symbolism found in obscure lyrics, and ambiguous imagery on album covers. A few of them are well known, such as the fact that McCartney is the only barefooted Beatle and is out of step with the others on the cover of Abbey Road, pictured.

15. The July 7, 2005 Tube Bombings - One of the supposed mysteries surrounding the 7 / 7 attacks is this image, used by several news outlets, or the Bombers entering Luton station on their way to London at around 7.20am on July 7. Theorists claim this image is fake because the man in the white hat - believed to be Mohammed Sidique Khan - has been electronically placed on the picture after it had functions. They claim that it shows his arm behind a railing while the rest of his body in front and behind the bar that goes across his head and in front of his face. Theorists postulates, among other things, that the bombs which went off on the Tube trains were actually under the floors of the vehicles and not in the Alleged plotters' backpacks.
